Spring is in the Air!!

What a beautiful weekend! It was absolutely gorgeous and it feels like spring is here. My kids had baseball/softball games on Saturday which were fun. We're off to a good start of the season and nothing says spring like baseball. And today we went hiking and geocaching. Wildwood Park is so close but when you get there it's amazing to think this place has been in our own backyard. Miles and miles of hiking trails...

My daughter isn't that good at walking. I mean, she can walk just fine. But hiking isn't really her thing, it doesn't take long before the whining sets in. So we have to have a really cool destination to look forward to. Today it was this teepee...

And this 70 foot waterfall!!

I knew it would be flowing due to all the rain we've had and it did not disappoint! Very cool!! There were also lots of flowers starting to bloom. I really need to brush up on my local flora knowledge because I have no idea what this is. And it's probably native and I should probably know.

And then we got down to business...geocaching!!!!

Geocaching is like treasure hunting. Anybody can hide a geocache anywhere on public property. That person logs the coordinates on a website and we can download those coordinates to our GPS device. We then know where to find the treasure...or at least where it should be...Kayla was not happy when she found out the treasure was UP another hill!

Seriously, look at that blue sky! Could it be any prettier?? Back to geocaching...and back to where the treasure should be...

Well, it wasn't there...and it wasn't here either!

We didn't find our treasure today. Which was quite the bummer. And we got busted by our 7 year old who can now read all the signs and discovered we went OFF the trail and that was 'against the law' and there might be a police car waiting for us in the parking lot. Thankfully, there was no police car!! Hope you are having a great weekend!!
